Lace, Linen and Seaside Views!

Anna had spent some of her student time in Lyon, France. So when she managed to source the lace for her own dress in Lyon, we were delighted to work with it and create her very personal dress to suit the seaside venue of Golf View Hotel and Spa, Nairn, Nairn, is where Anna's Mum comes from.
The lace was backed with a pure linen, this gave the lace a more "organic-look" we felt. the dress is really fitted and has a concealed zip at the back and hidden internal lace up and corsetry. She has a loose bolero with one button at the neck at the back at the top, and then just hanging loose down to blow in the sea-breeze.
Anna had Chosen amazing Gucci shoes to wear with her dress. 
The wedding florist was Stephen Seedhouse Flowers.
You get a little glimpse of Anna's mum as well, she was in a lovely Aqua colour, we made that too.
Lauren McGlynn Photography managed to capture the whole wedding beautifully, and has so kindly offered us the use of her pictures.

Sophisticated Wedding in St Andrews

We met Linda a couple of years ago, when we made the prom dress for her daughter Emma.
It was lovely to get the call that Linda was now engaged to get married and that Emma and her Fiance's daughter (Also called Emma) were going to be bridesmaids.
Linda had planned th ewedding to be in St. Andrews, at the Old Course Hotel, St Andrews, and she wanted a long sophisticated Wedding dress with a soft drapey skirt made in silk crepe. The bodice was made from tulle with silver embroidery. The dress had an internal corset and buttons and loops at the back and soft gathered straps on the shoulders.
The two Emma's had opted for different styles of dresses but by keeping the fabric and cut of the skirt the same, the entire look had a continuity.
The colours and styles really suit the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside location. Emma did her mums and her own make up.
The flowers were done by Liz Hartley, from Passion & Flowers, and the car from High Society Wedding Cars. The photographs are kindly supplied by Ian Joy Photography, St Andrews.

Lucy's dress for her Wedding at Crear, Argyll

When we first met Lucy, she had a few cut outs from magazines of lovely vintage style lace, swishy skirts and amazing visions for her and Matheu's wedding at the stunning venue Crear Weddings, Kilberry, Argyll.

Lucy was very involved in the design of her dress and chose a guipore lace which was similar to the laces of a lot of the wedding dresses in the early 1970es, but we re-worked it for a much more current look. Lucy had the lace backed with douppion silk and then a silk organza skirt overlay. Internal corset, boning, silk satin ruched belt on the waist, and lovely satin buttons down the back of her dress.

With that Lucy chose a simple edged, fingertip veil.

The wedding was held in the Achahoish Church, and the reception at the Crear, Kilberry all in Argyll.

Catherine Martin at "Style Argyll" did Lucy's wedding hair, and the gorgeous flowers were arranged by Melody at Crear Flowers. The guests were entertained by music from the fabolous The Occasionals Ceilidh Band.

Douppion silk and beaded lace wedding dress

It was so lovely when Susan came to see us 18 months before her wedding she had some ideas of what she would like for her wedding dress, together we chose the lace and the fabrics and details. One Year later we started on her dress and it quickly took shape. Susan had an ivory silk dress with embroidered and beaded lace over the bodice and sleeves. The lace had elaborate beaded scallop edging on sleeve edges and neckline. Susan had functional buttons on the back and an internal corset. The wedding was held at Ellersly House Hotel, Murrayfield the hair was by Calm Hair and Beauty, West Linton and Susan did her own make up with Chanel products. Susan wore her mums head dress which we had customised for her. We also made Susan's mums outfit, she went for an indigo lace dress and a silk-wool coat to match. The whole thing came together so well for an early spring wedding. Susan and her mum, were both a delight to work with and we wish her and Gary all the best for the future. Thank you to Ewan F.
